Hello Donna;
Personally, I consider beating a dead horse an act of futility rather than
cruelty, but I hope you don't consider these forums, a place for all things
J, to be an SPCDH, nor gang-up-on-Donna forums. I hope you are not finding a
snobbish towards beginners attitude (like I have found in the beginning-perl
Yahoo group)
There is nothing in your posts that the reader assuming you have the best
intentions doesn't fix. I mentioned this in a previous post about your
prefixing sentences "Why not..."
Sometimes making that assumption is hard work, and the power of J has made
hard work a stranger in thes parts. I, for one, look forward to reading
your posts. Please continue at your pleasure.

Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] significant digits
Perhaps I am unaware of the actual purpose of the J forums and Jgeneral
in particular. Can someone fill me in?
After each post I seem to be reprimanded for what I have said.
I started this subject--significant digits to explore some of the ways
precision was reflected in J
Now I am told, if I don't understand the post thats too bad for me.
Sometimes it feels like conversing with the society for the prevention of
cruelty to dead horses.
